“Many women,” says King Solomon of Ancient Israel, “have done well. You have done excellently.” These are the words that one can only imagine that Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State speaks to his dear wife and First Lady, Erelu Bisi Fayemi.

It is on record that Ekiti recorded one of the lowest numbers of casualties and infected people in Nigeria.
